Homeless Youth and Young Adults (YYA) who are 24 or younger are eligible for youth services. All YYA who would like to be referred to youth homeless services must be assessed and prioritized by the statewide Youth Coordinated Entry System (YCES). Maine’s YCES is designed to identify, engage, assess, and assist all youth experiencing homelessness. The standardized assessment tool collects the information needed to prioritize and match individuals to appropriate housing resources.
